Apparently apps doing Football scores Ceefax-style are very popular at the moment. No worries, they've been on NMS Ceefax for nearly 10 years now, and are staying there. nmsceefax.co.uk#id=WyJubXMtY...

In 15 minutes I'll be on BBC Radio Wales to discuss the wonders of teletext: www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Pleased to say that despite a truly horrific leaky battery and stinky exploding RIFA caps... (1/3)

Takes a Nat to fix a Gnat

Latest football scores continue to be available on Ceefax nmsceefax.co.uk

"rowed back" - HAH! glad to see someone still has a sense of humour 😁

This is your regular reminder that for the latest news, sport and weather in the slow lane with music, NMS Ceefax has you covered: www.youtube.com/live/v8OUAiW...

Apparently the Dutch call a phono connector a "tulp" ("tulip") which I love and can see the resemblence.

A bargain!

Have recently started experimenting with solar powering things. Very fond of Victron's stuff since it shows you nice graphs... Would be interested to hear about anyone else's experience with solar power in the UK. (gonna need more than this to power Ceefax, that's for sure...)

Can we teach forum users/github issue openers about "thinking" too?

Certified nerd.

Of course, the Really intelligent people could make them all EXACTLY 35 characters long. That is beyond my skills/patience...

BUM? That must be 'Broadcasting Under Manager'... No, it's a bum!

Bring back the days when headlines had to be snappy, and less than 36 characters long... :)

This is the best thing about Ceefax. No cookie agreements, no stupid pop-up sign up forms, no clutter - just the bare necessities and a three-digital number.

Remains the case. I would rather give up running the service than have it plastered in ads.

NMS Servers most decidedly do not enjoy heatwaves.

The latest in my continuous pursuit of madness: I give you Stewart Morris talkback, delivered via teletext datacast...

I like how Htop likes to subtly suggest it's time you rebooted.

Can't say I imagined Ceefax covering WW3 kicking off. I am reliably informed that the site, and specifically the manner it communicates via teletext packets, allows it to penetrate certain country's firewalls undetected. So that's something...

*does a victory dance* My house-wide anachronistic analogue terrestrial TV simulator is now reality, with NMS Ceefax on BBC1! My mini PC wasn't powerful enough for other experiments I threw at it, but can handle iPlayer in OBS, stream it to a Pi, which plays it via omxplayer (teletext via VBIT2).

Don't make me tap the sign! nmsceefax.co.uk

Prototyping craziness...

Apparently NMS Ceefax is currently showing as "unsafe" in certain browsers/search engines - I believe this is a 'new domain' thing so unfortunately there's not much I can do about it - Just rest assured it is fully secure and won't send your details to lots of third party servers etc...

I love honest marketing

When I did a memorable day's work experience at TVC shortly after the launch of COW, I met a BBC engineer who was proudly wearing a t-shirt that had the COW as a logo and the text BBC ENGINEERS MAKE THE WORLD GO ROUND

Bit different to my usual content, but here's how I wired a dashcam directly into my car's fusebox - the way it *should* be done. Minus the neon green cable ties. www.nathanmediaservices.co.uk/projects/?co...

🟩 WEBFAX | Our teletext service now carries regional weather forecasts. A bit of 1985 in 2025. Thanks to @nmsni.co.uk. >> Webfax Weather: webfax.thetvroom.com#id=WyJ3ZWJmY...

Meanwhile on Ceefax, the page with the graph has returned.

Never fear, the chief mechanic has the issue under control.

FA Cup scores are on Ceefax P331: nmsceefax.co.uk#id=WyJubXMtY...

Wow @nmsni.co.uk your NMS Ceefax site is great! Current news, weather and more - working just like it used to 📺😀 www.nathanmediaservices.co.uk/ceefax #Teletext #Ceefax

I'm trying to remember when I started streaming Pages From Ceefax 24/7. I think it's more than a year ago now, possibly two? Crazy. Anyway, we're up to 3 months continuous again, so we're bound to be due a massive power cut or something, right? www.youtube.com/channel/UCNn...

someone go up & tweak the antenna ;) Full service can be seen online: www.nathanmediaservices.co.uk/ceefax/#id=W...

The lesser spotted "½" teletext character makes an appearance on Ceefax today.

Folks who run Ceefax on local Pis should be pleased to hear that Regions have finally been re-instated. At the moment this just means that P160 has your local news, but hopefully in future more stuff will become available.

From FB: Porn... pure porn... Amiga A1000 prototype. Fan boards are the CMOS versions of the custom chips, and board at the front is a Wire Wrapped A1000. Wow... It always amazes me you can replicate complex chips using normal logic chips. 😂

Clear skies over the British Isles. Wildfire smoke can be seen in Northern Ireland, Wales, and southern Scotland, while Saharan dust drifts high over western Ireland.

With no radio coverage, I'm following the football in the only way that matters

CALLING ALL #TELETEXT FANS! Sports journalist Lee Wellings has penned this nostalgic tribute to the UK service on ITV and Channel 4 that we both worked on. "Maybe they should bring back Teletext? Maybe they should." Spot on! Nice one @leewellings.bsky.social leewellings.substack.com/p/dropped-by...

Ahem. Have had to make myself a note to prevent What Happened Earlier. No more playout dev shenanigans for a while.

Just noticed that an old reddit post about my teletext inserters has 888 upvotes... 😁

It's highly amusing seeing the outrage over Heathrow's power cut from people who know nothing about the grid & backup generators. It was the same when thon storm took out half of NI's grid - do these folks really think we should spend billions to prepare for "once in a lifetime" events..?
